As
a
narcotic
it
is
very
useful,
because
it
allays
pain
and
irritation,
without
increasing
the
pulse
very
much.
When
powdered
and
sprinkled
upon
the
surface
of
a
blister,
it
prevents
the
cantharides
acting
in
a
peculiar
and
painful
manner
upon
the
bladder.
Combined
with
senna,
it
increases
its
purgative
properties;
and
it
is
also
used
to
correct
the
nausea
produced
by
squills,
and
the
irritating
effects
of
drastic
purgatives
and
mezereon.
Dose,
from
four
grains
to
half
a
scruple,
repeated
at
short
intervals
when
used
in
small
doses,
and
long
intervals
when
employed
in
large
doses.
Doses
of
the
various
preparations.--Camphor
mixture,
from
half
an
ounce
to
three
ounces;
compound
tincture
of
camphor
(paregoric
elixir),
from
fifteen
minims
to
two
drachms.
Caution.--When
given
in
an
overdose
it
acts
as
a
poison,
producing
vomiting,
giddiness,
delirium,
convulsions,
and
sometimes
death.
Opium
is
the
best
antidote
for
camphor,
whether
in
excess
or
taken
as
a
poison.
Mode
of
exhibition.--It
may
be
rubbed
up
with
almond
emulsion,
or
mucilage,
or
the
yolk
of
eggs,
and
by
this
means
suspended
in
water,
or
combined
with
chloroform
as
a
mixture,
in
which
form
it
is
a
valuable
stimulant
in
cholera
and
other
diseases.
(See
Mixtures,
556-564).

Ether.
Ether
is
a
diffusible
stimulant,
narcotic
and
antispasmodic.
696.
Sulphuric
Ether
Sulphuric
Ether
is
used
externally
both
as
a
stimulant
and
a
refrigerant.
In
the
former
case
its
evaporation
is
prevented
by
covering
a
rag
moistened
with
it
with
oiled
silk,
in
order
to
relieve
headache;
and
in
the
latter
case
it
is
allowed
to
evaporate,
and
thus
produce
coldness:
hence
it
is
applied
over
scalded
surfaces
by
means
of
rags
dipped
in
it.
